AUSTIN (KXAN) - For many at this year's Austin City Limits festival, Saturday night's Stevie Wonder performance was the biggest draw.

When the time came, Wonder played favorites including "We Can Work it Out." The crowd swayed and belted along to "Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours."

"I've seen a lot of shows in my day -- Stevie Wonder wins best sing- and dance-a-long," tweeted Kaelin Muse.

Many fans took to Twitter to complain about sound problems during the show.

"My Morning Jacket completely drown[ed] out Stevie Wonder. The sound is awful on a couple of stages. Hope they fix it," posted Michael McDaniel.

"Poor way for [ACL Festival] to treat 1000s fans who wanted to hear Stevie Wonder. Terrible sound," tweeted Cindy Royal.

Wonder's set was quiet from stage right near the sound booth, but it was loud enough to have thousands singing along.
